Hello, aaniin! I’m the one producing the fan-dubs in Ojibwe, Westin Sutherland. This particular video is one of my old and outdated fan-dubs, as I changed microphones a couple months after. I know that it and a few of my videos aren’t perfect, obviously because I was and am still learning to edit as we go along, but I can proudly say that my friends and elders that I record have improved greatly. I was a bit of an amateur back then, basically recording things once and having that be that, but nowadays we focus a lot more on acting, and recording multiple takes so that it sounds the best it can be. We’re currently dubbing the episode 18 fully, intro to ending, and it’s coming along great! The episode 1 clip here has been re-recorded a bit, and posted onto YouTube, but I plan on dubbing episode 1 fully in the future.

I like diversity, but I don’t like the facile rotary-club conception of it being pushed by the media these days. It’s the very sort of stealth-assimilationism that Canadians used to look down their noses at Americans for subscribing to.

(Not that
I have anything against this fandub, just the tenor of the coverage.)

CBC writers aren’t exactly hardcore anime fans interested in the quality of the fan dub. This is a slice of life story focusing on a social issue which is of concern to the readers, that being the loss of young First Nations people’s cultural identity. While I certainly see that it’s less compelling to some fans I also see why it’s the kind of thing which generally fills the pages of papers and magazines.

Completely agree. It’s being covered all over the net.

I know what you mean. The quality of the project is ignored in favor of “diversity “. Imho, there are better dubs out there.

I hope he continues his project, but it IS strange that THIS specific sub is being highlighted by the media.

It seemed newsworthy as the article mentioning it was getting a lot of attention here in Canada. I don’t mean to ignore other fan dubs. I’ve been aware of fighter4luv’s fan dubbing work for some time but as that effort started before this site was around there was never really a “hey check out this new fan dub” sort of moment. That said now that you mention this it seemed like a good link to add to the “Other Sailor Moon Site” widget which I’m not sure anyone really pays much attention to. If there are any other fan dubs worth mentioning let me know. I don’t follow these things all that closely.

Other than that there’s just the idea that this was something which was culturally important to this fan. This isn’t a terribly function or high production value project to be sure and I wouldn’t be surprised if we never actually got a full episode from this initiative but it seemed like an interesting story.
